Kim by Rudyard Kipling

5.0

So Kim is a white orphan raised as an native Indian who meets a Buddhist monk when he is 13. He becomes the monk's chela in the monk's quest to find the river of enlightenment. Along the way, Kim discovers he is the son of a regimental man and is forced to attend a Western school for a couple years. He bides his time at the school until he can regain his journey with his monk. This is one of the most beautiful books of friendship and mentorship Ive read in a while.
